WHAT THE EYE DOESN'T REVEAL

These tours of the Ester Partegàs, Dorothy Iannone and Antonio Ballester Moreno exhibitions don’t seek categorical answers but open up a space where the experiences of visitors, and of groups that now form part of the museum, are put into play and create networks. We want to reflect together on it what means to tour an exhibition using conversation, listening and the difference of gazes.

How does what we see change when we focus on the fragment, the framing or the time we dedicate to a work?
What do we really use when we look at a work?

“What the eye doesn't reveal” proposes a tour where framing, fragment and time are mobilised to provide a deeper insight into Sky and Earth by Antonio Ballester Moreno, Minor Architecture by Ester Partegàs, and Over and Over Again by Dorothy Iannone. Three proposals which, each from a very different place, invite us to think about what falls outside the spotlight, about what is repeated and transformed, and about the intimate, the body and the everyday as territories of meaning.

A space to pause at the details and accept the partial gaze, allowing the works (and other people as well) to interrogate us, disturb us or connect us from unexpected places. A tour where the fragment is not something incomplete but a possibility; where the framing is not a limit but a revelation; and where time is measured not as duration but as intensity of the experience.

The tours will be accompanied by Francisca Soto Martínez (Santiago de Chile, 1989), artist, restorer and educator based in Spain. A member of the El Hueco collective, her work is situated at the intersection between collective memory, community building and cultural mediation, exploring the frictions between art, restoration and education.
